Following the notable success of the World Health Care Congress Europe, The European Leadership Summit on Chronic Care is the forum where government and industry leaders share successful initiatives and global best practices in the implementation of chronic disease management programmes. So far, the agenda includes case studies from 12 different countries.

Organised under the high patronage of the European Commission, the event will convene senior executives from key organisations advancing chronic care in Europe including providers, payers, suppliers, customers, policy-makers and health officials.

Through the support of our partner organizations, we are creating a truly international event, reaching key health leaders in over 40 countries. An international delegation will enjoy this two-day networking opportunity, featuring visionary keynote addresses, controversial debates, implementation case studies, tutorials and informal roundtable discussions.

Four focused summits will give attendees a unique opportunity to discuss pertinent issues in depth and determine actionable plans with their colleagues:

• IT Infrastructures, Electronic Health Records and Chronic Care
